15 hours. One baby. Two mental patients. 😆

Just kidding! But it was a flight we’ll never forget. We flew internationally with August for the first time and as expected, we learned some things!

Big shoutout to @allnipponairways for upgrading us to bulkhead seats with a bassinet after seeing our situation—truly the best service in the clouds. We love Japan and this experience felt like an extension of Japanese hospitality.

As we mentioned in the video, here’s a list of the things I used and didn’t use on the flight. Now you can free up space in your carry-on!

Used:
* Pacifier
* 2 Burp cloths
* 1 extra onesie
* Formula
* 1 baby Bottle
* Clorox wipes
* 7 Diapers
* Diaper cream
* Tylenol
* Baby wipes
* Crinkly fabric book toy with bells and strings
* Changing pad
* Small tote as diaper caddy
* Nursing cover
* Nursing top with side zips
* 2 Gatorades
* Hand lotion
* Baby carrier for navigating airport

Didn’t use:
* travel boppy
* Baby Blanket
* Hand pump
* Water bottle

Work, family, responsibilities... everything pulls at your time.

But the older I get, the more I realize: being intentional is everything. 💕

This is your sign to send that text, make the plan, and water the relationships that matter. 🌱
